well, i think the bigger girth snakes, like boas, will be to big for a 40 gallon breeder size tank. i was thinking of a hogg island boa myself. they have some girth from what i've heard but only get to like 4-5 foot.

How much experience do you have with other reptiles?
I reccomend the Ball python, the corn snake, or an eastern kingsnake. Good luck on your choice.

In my opinion the best snake in a 40 gallon would be any of these: corn/rat/king/milk. All of these snakes will fit in that size cage at full size. Although none of them are naturally girthy(?), but I have heard that if you power feed them, they can get quite girthy.
